RAJ BHAWAN CHANDIGARH April 8, 2011 Shivraj V. Patil Governor of Punjab and Administrator Union Territory, Chandigarh MESSAGE I am delighted to know that Census-2011 has been successfully completed in the Union Territory, Chandigarh. The Indian Census is acknowledged as one of the biggest peace time exercises in the World; and is renowned the world over for the high quality of data it publishes. It provides useful data which is the basis of discussion making large number of areas in the functioning of the Indian Government. Modern Census taking in India has a history dating back to 1872 when the first has been an unbroken series of Census every decade. The Census 2011 is the 15th Decadal Census of India. I am confident that the Provisional Census Data being published in Paper-I, by the Directorate of Census Operations, Chandigarh would be of great utility in the planning and formulation of policies and programmes of the Government. I commend the efforts put in by the concerned officers of the Census Department and Chandigarh Administration in making the Census 2011 a grand success. (Shivraj V. Patil)

Pradip Mehra Adviser to the Administrator Union Territory of Chandigarh Chandigarh-160 017 MESSAGE The Indian Census has a rich tradition of statistical integrity and enjoys the reputation of being one of the best in the world. The Census of 2011 is the fifteenth in an unbroken series since 1872 and the seventh after independence. It is remarkable that the great historical tradition of conducting a Census has been maintained in spite of several adversities like wars, epidemics, natural calamities, political unrest etc. Very few countries in the world can boast of such a distinction. Participation in the Census by the people of India is indeed a true reflection of the national spirit of unity in diversity. The fact that the Census gives us the population of a country is well known. However, what is of greater significance is that the Census is the biggest source of comprehensive data on Demography, Economic Activity, Literacy & Education, Housing & Household Amenities, Urbanization, Fertility and Mortality, Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, Language, Religion and Migration. It is the only source of primary data at village, town and ward level. It not only provides valuable information for planning and formulation of policies, Delimitation/Reservation of Constituencies and effective Public Administration but is also widely used by National and International agencies. I am sure that the Provisional Census Data being published in Paper-I, by the Directorate of Census Operations, Chandigarh will give a correct view of the changing demographic profile of Chandigarh. I have no doubt that the data collected through this biggest administrative exercise would prove immensely useful in the planning and formulation of policies and programmes. I congratulate every officer/official of the Census Directorate and Chandigarh Administration who has worked hard in making the Census-2011 in Chandigarh a resounding success. (Pradip Mehra)

C H A N D I G A R H "Let this be a new town, symbolic of the freedom of India, unfettered by the traditions of the past an expression of the nations faith in the future" - Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru Chandigarh attained the status of Union Territory on 1st November, 1966. Designed by Le Corbusier, it has acquired the enviable reputation of being the 'City Beautiful'. Located in the southeastern part of Punjab, it is encircled by district Sahibzada Ajit Singh Nagar (Punjab) on three sides and district Panchkula (Haryana) on the east. Named after the local presiding diety 'Chandi' the Goddess of Power, the city was planned on the gently rolling plains at the foot of Shivalik Hills as the capital of new Punjab after partition of India in 1947. The first plan of the city was prepared by an American Architect, Mathew Novicki. But after his death in an air crash in the year 1950, the task was entrusted to the famous French Architect, Le Corbusier. Modern Chandigarh is thus Corbusier's creation. The city has been conceived as a living organism with close parallelism of functions. The Administrative area in the north comprising the Secretariat, High Court and Assembly Chamber is the head, the Educational Centers in the north-east are limbs, the Chief Commercial and Civic Centre is the heart whereas the residential area are analogous to the trunk of the organism. The network of roads and footpaths through which the circulation of traffic and population takes place is the circulatory system. The spacious parks, green belts and other open spaces act as lungs of the city. The basic planning unit of the city is a sector and initial plan provides for 47 sectors, now there are around 63 sectors. Each sector spreads in an area of 246 acres and has been so planned that all the facilities like shopping centers, schools, hospitals, places of worship, recreational centers, play grounds, plenty of open spaces etc. are available in each sector for its residents. The development of third phase sectors has been taken up which is fast coming up. Chandigarh became a Union Territory in 1966 when the erstwhile State of Punjab faced a three - fold division. Haryana was carved out on one side. The hilly areas went to Himachal Pradesh and the remaining areas continued as the State of Punjab. Chandigarh was also declared the Capital of Punjab and Haryana, besides the seat of Chandigarh Administration. Stretching over an area of 114 sq. kms, the Union Territory of Chandigarh has 12 villages around the city. It is divided into 26 wards Municipal Corporation (Urban). 8

General Notes 1. The figures for India and Manipur, include by sex, the estimated population, 0-6 population and literates of Paomata, Mao Maram and Purul sub-divisions of Senapati district of Manipur for Census 2001 and 2011. 2. For working out density of India and the State of Jammu & Kashmir, the entire area and population of those portions of Jammu & Kashmir which are under illegal occupation of Pakistan and China have not been taken into account. 3. For Census 2011, the population of "Others" has been clubbed with the "Males" for working out population, 0-6 population, literates and related rates and ratios. 4. In working out 'decadal variation' and 'percentage decadal variation' for 1941-1951 & 1951-1961 of India and Nagaland State, the population of Tuensang District for 1951 (7,025) & the population of Tuensang (83,501) & Mon (50,774) districts for 1961 Census have not been taken into account as the area was censused for the first time in 1951 and the same are not comparable. 5. The 1981 Census could not be held owing to disturbed conditions prevailing in Assam. Hence the population figures for 1981 of Assam have been worked out by 'Interpolation'. 6. The 1991 Census was not held in Jammu & Kashmir. Hence the population figures for 1991 of Jammu & Kashmir have been worked out by 'Interpolation'. 7. The distribution of population of Pondicherry (Puducherry) by sex for 1901 (246,354), and 1931 (258,628) and 1941 (285,011) is not avaiable. The figures of India for these years are, therefore, exclusive of these population figures so far as distribution by sex is concerned. 8. Arunachal Pradesh was censused for the first time in 1961. 9. In 1951, Tuensang was censused for the first time for 129.5 sq.kms. of areas only. In 1961 censused areas of Tuensang District of Nagaland was increased to 5356.1 sq. kms. 10. Due to non-availability of census data the figures for the decades, from 1901 to 1951 have been estimated for the districts of Kohima, Phek, Wokha, Zunheboto, and Mokokchung of Nagaland. Estimation however could not be done for Tuensang and Mon as they were not fully censused prior to 1961. 11. As the sex break-up for the districts : Sheopur, Morena, Bhind, Gwalior, Datia, Shivpuri, Guna, Ratlam, Ujjain, Shajapur, Dewas, Jhabua, Dhar, Indore, West Nimar ( Khargone ), Barwani, Rajgarh, Bhopal, Sehore and Raisen is not available for the year 1901. Figures for males and females have been estimated for the year 1901 for Madhya Pradesh. 12. One village Ramtapur (code No. 217 and 101 in 1951 and 1961 respectively) of Jukkal circle of Degulur taluka which was transferred under the State Reorganisation Act, 1956 from Maharashtra to Andhra Pradesh, still continues in Nanded district of Maharashtra. The population of this village has, however, been adjusted in Nizamabad district for the year 1901-1951. 13. The names of Uttaranchal and Pondicherry have changed to Uttarakhand and Puducherry respectively after Census 2001 Note of caution : The figures in this report being of a provisional nature, only the important footnotes have been given above. The detailed footnotes would be given when the final population tables are released. 12

INTRODUCTORY NOTE Population Census taking in India is rated as the largest administrative exercise undertaken once in ten years. It has a legal backing under the Census Act, 1948 and Census Rules, 1990. The earliest references of census taking in India can be traced back to the Mauryan period in Kautilya's 'Arthsashtra' (321-296 BC) and later during the Mughal period in 'Ain - e - Akbari'. The first modern Census was conducted during the year 1872 but the exercise was non-synchronous i.e. it was not conducted in the entire country simultaneously. The first synchronous Census was conducted in 1881. Since then, we have been conducting Census without a break. The Census of India 2011 is the 15th in series and 7th after independence. The Census of India is a gigantic administrative exercise and is conducted after ten years as per legal provisions of the Census Act 1948 and Census Rules, 1990. The Census data is an essential tool for planning and policy making. The Planners, Administrators, Scholars, Demographers, Researchers and many other data users use the voluminous Census data for guiding the policy formulation for the welfare and progress of our country. Preparation for Census 2011 Preparation for Census 2011 started in 2007-08. The jurisdictional changes for 2011 Census were updated as on 2nd January 2008. Rural and Urban frame was finalized. All the important Ministries of Govt. of India, Planning Commission, State / UT Governments, Universities, Research Institutions, Experts and Scholars were invited to get their suggestions for the Census 2011. An enumeration block was carved out for 150 households having 650-800 population. Intensive training in three rounds was imparted to the Enumerators and Supervisors. In all, 2009 Enumeration Blocks were carved out in Chandigarh (U.T.), 1917 Enumerators and 343 Supervisors were deployed. The detail of Wards of Municipal Corporation Chandigarh was notified in Official Gazette notification No. 6/1/45-FII (8)-2006/6554 dated 25th October 2006. Chandigarh has been divided into 26 Wards, 5 Census Towns, 2 Out Growths and 5 Villages. 17

New Features of Census of India 2011 In 2011 Census, right from the preparatory stage to the data processing and data dissemination stage, several innovations have been introduced.

Phase - 1: Houselisting Operations The Houselisting and Housing Census is an essential pre - requisite of the main population enumeration. The housing data has immense utility as it provides comprehensive data on the conditions of human settlements, housing deficit and consequently the housing requirement to be taken care of in the formulation of housing policies and a wide range of data on amenities and assets available to the households, information much needed by various departments of the Union and State Governments and other non-governmental agencies for development and planning at the local level as well as the State level. The specimen of the Houselisting 18

and Housing Census Schedule canvassed for 2011 census is given at Annexure II. Several innovations have been introduced at the Census of India 2011 both in the Houselisting and Housing Census Schedule canvassed during Houselisting Operations and the Household Schedule canvassed during Population Enumeration. Some of the new features introduced and innovations made in the Houselist Schedule are discussed below: The template of the Houselist and Household Schedule has been designed by National Institute of designs (NID), Ahemdabad. It also contains 'barcode' 'Form number', pre - printed location particulars of State/UT, district and sub - district, and the questions have coded options to record answers. Predominant material of 'floor' - Brick has been replaced with burnt brick; and predominant material of 'roof' - Brick is replaced with burnt brick, Tiles have been split into two: Tiles (hand made/desi nalia) and Tiles (mechanized). Number of dwelling rooms exclusively in possession of household. 'Tap' as main source of drinking water has been bifurcated into two: from 'treated' source and from 'un - treated' source. 'Well' as main source has been bifurcated into two: 'covered well' and un - covered well'. 'Spring' as the main source of drinking water has been clubbed with River/canal; 'Borewell' is clubbed with 'Tubewell; and 'Rain water' source has been newly added. Among availability of assets to the household, telephone/mobile (with or without internet) have been newly added. Number of married couples having independent room for sleeping has been dropped. Phase 2: Population Enumeration The Population Enumeration was undertaken between 9th to 28th February, 2011 with a revisional round from 1st to 5th March, 2011 with 00.00 hours of 1st march, 2011 as the referral time. During population enumeration, information for every individual in the household is collected by canvassing Household Schedule Specimen of the Household Schedule canvassed at the Census of India 2011 is given at Annexure III. The Household Schedule had two parts on two sides 'A' and 'B'. Part I contained the Location Particulars, and Part II relates to individual particulars. This household schedule has 29 questions; Q. 1 to 14 on side 'A' Q, 15 to 29 on side 'B'. To facilitate quick tabulation for bringing out Provisional Population Totals, provisions of page totaling were made in the schedule itself for items namely, total population, population in the age group 0-6 years and literates, by sex. Likewise the Houselisting Operations, several innovations have been introduced for the Population Enumeration. Some of the new features introduced and innovations made in the Household Schedule are as follows; The template of the Household Schedule had 'barcode' form number', pre - printed location particulars of State/UT and district, and the questions have coded options to record answers. Linking of Houselisting block number with Enumeration block number. Resident status of usual residents has been recorded as : 'Usual resident' and 'Others'. Recording of Date of Birth. 19

Population Growth : 1901-2011 Statement 2 gives population of Chandigarh Union Territory from 1901 to 2011. For this purpose the population of earlier Censuses has been obtained by recasting the population as per the present jurisdiction. The population of Chandigarh Union Territory stood at 21,967 in 1901 and this rose to 24,261 in 1951. As such, the first fifty years saw a net addition of only 2,294 persons. At the 1961 Census Chandigarh had a population of 119,881 resulting in an absolute increase of 95,620 in its population during 1951-61. This phenomenal increase is primarily attributed to its being developed as the capital city of erstwhile Punjab State. During 1961-71, there was a net decadal accretion of 137,370 and the population reached 257,251 in1971. During this decade Chandigarh attained the status of a Union Territory and the administrative headquarters of Punjab and Haryana. Chandigarh has been experiencing rapid growth in its population size. Although, initially planned for a population of half - a - million, its population reached 451,610 in 1981, 642,015 in 1991 and 900,635 in 2001. As per Census 2011, Chandigarh Union Territory has a population of 1,054,686 which is more than twice that of the number for which it was originally planned. There has been a net accretion of 154,051 persons in Chandigarh's population during 2001-2011.

Child Population in Age Group 0-6 Years The data on child population in the age group 0-6 years is primarily intended for calculating the literacy rates. However, it also allows us to broadly analyse possible linkages with growth of population, particularly providing leads on fertility. Population and proportion of child population in the age group 0-6 to total population for 2001 and 2011 by sex is given in Table 6. As per Census 2011 the total number of children in the age group 0-6 years in Chandigarh UT is 117,953 including 63,187 males and 54,766 females. This number is little higher than that of 115,613 in 2001 population. However, the proportion of child population in age group 0-6 years in Chandigarh UT has declined from 12.83 percent in 2001 to 11.18 percent in 2011 registering a fall of 1.65 percentage points during 2001-2011. The percentage of males in the age group 0-6 years has declined from 12.36 to 10.89, while the corresponding decline among females is from 13.45 to 11.54 percent. Density of Population 'Density of Population' is defined as the number of persons per square kilometer. It is an important indicator of population concentration in an area. As per the provisional population totals of Census 2011, the population density of Chandigarh UT has gone up to 9,252. Statement 4 shows density of population of Chandigarh UT for the years 1971-2011. There has been four - fold increase in population density during this period. Chandigarh UT had a density of 2,257 persons per square kilometer in 1971 which increased to 3,961 in 1981 and further to 5,632 in 1991. During this decade the density of population has increased from 7,900 in 2001 to 9,252 signifying that 1,352 more people inhabit every square kilometer as compared to a decade ago.

Gender Composition of the Population The Census of India has been customarily collecting and presenting disaggregated data for male and female population. The composition of population by gender is one of the primary demographic characteristics of human population around which meaningful analysis is woven. Gender composition reflects natality, mortality and migration character of a given population. Distribution pattern of male and female in a population affects relative roles and economic relationships. There are different tools to measure gender equity in population. Sex ratio is one such widely used tool for cross sectional analysis to measure gender balance. Evidently, sex composition in population is one of the basic characteristics vital for any meaning for demographic analysis. In the Census of India, sex ratio is defined as the number of females per 1000 males. According to the provisional population totals of Census 2011, Chandigarh UT has a population of 1,054,686 out of which 580,282 are males and 474,404 females. Trends in Sex Ratio Table 3 gives sex ratio of Chandigarh for 1901 to 2011. In consonance with the overall trends in sex ratio in India, the sex ratio in Chandigarh has been historically unfavourable to females. Fig. 5 shows that the trends in sex ratio are somewhat fluctuating till 1961. Chandigarh had a sex ratio of 749 at the 1971 Census which improved to 769 in 1981 and further to 790 in 1991. The Census 2001 recorded a fall in its sex ratio to 777 (by 13 points). However, a significant rise in sex ratio is noticed during this decade. As per Census 2011 Chandigarh has a sex ratio of 818 showing an increase by 41 points.

Statement 6 shows sex ratio in child population in age group for 2001 and 2011. Likewise the over all sex ratio, there has been significant improvement in the child sex ratio in the age group 0-6 years in Chandigarh. The child sex ratio has increased from 845 in 2001to 867 in 2011, an increase of 22 points during this decade. Statement - 6 Sex Ratio in States and Union Territories for 2001 and 2011 State / U.T.

State of Literacy Literacy level and educational attainment are vital indicators of development in a society. Attainment of universal primary education is one of the Millennium Development Goals of the United Nations to be achieved by the year 2015. Planning Commission has also targeted in the eleventh Five Year Plan to increase literacy rate of persons age 7 years and above to 85 percent and reducing the gender gap in literacy to 10 percentage points by 2011-12. Literacy rate and educational development are considered to be key variables effecting demographic indicators like fertility, mortality (especially infant mortality) rate and migration. It greatly contributes in improving quality of life, particularly with regard to life expectancy, infant mortality, learning levels and nutritional levels of children. Higher level of literacy and educational development lead to greater awareness on the one hand and help people in acquiring new skills on the other. For the purposes of Census, any person aged seven and above who can both read and write with understanding in any language is treated as literate. A person who can only read but cannot write is not a literate. Furthermore, it is not necessary that a person should have received any formal education or acquired any minimum educational standard, to be treated as literate. In the Censuses prior to 1991 children below five years of age were necessarily treated as illiterates. Till 1981, Census it was customary to work out the literacy rate taking into account the total population. Literacy rate is more meaningful if the sub - population in the 0-6 year age group is excluded from the total population. For 1991 Census, it was decided to use the term 'literacy rate' for seven years and above. The same concept has been continued in the subsequent Censuses of 2001 and 2011. Literates and illiterates In Chandigarh UT, there are 809,653 literates as per Census 2011 resulting in an overall literacy rate of 86.43 percent.
